SAMPLE PROBLEM

TAKEOFF

The Takeoff Distance chart should be consulted, keeping in mind that
distances shown are based on the short field technique. Conservative
distances can be established by reading the chart at the next higher
value of weight, altitude and temperature. For example, in this
particular sample problem, the takeoff distance information presented
for a weight of 8807 pounds (3994 kg), pressure altitude of 4000 feet
and a temperature of 20°C should be used and results in the following:
Ground roll
Total distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle
These distances are well within the available takeoff field length.
However, a correction for the effect of wind may be made based on
information presented in the note section of the takeoff chart. The
correction for a 12 knot headwind is:
12 Knots
11 Knots
This results in the following takeoff distances, corrected for a 12 knot
headwind:
Ground roll, zero wind
Decrease in ground roll (1965 feet X 11%)
Corrected ground roll
Total distance to clear a 50-foot obstacle, zero wind
Decrease in total distance (3010 feet X 11%)
Corrected total distance to clear 50-foot obstacle
